My daughter is 12 and she sweats quite a bit under the arms.
Obviously it's a sensitive age and she gets really uptight about the whole thing. Any tips apart from the usual "wear lose clothing" etc

Just some extra info - yes my daughter does wear anti perspirant. Sorry, should have mentioned that before.

Go to a doctor and get Drysol. It will stop the sweating the first time she uses it. Or buy Certain Dri it's not as strong but you can buy it anywhere. Believe me they both work better than anything.

There are some pads which fit under the armpits which would be a good idea for her. If she wears too much anti perspirant she may develop an allergy to them and get a serious rash. Some people are born with over active sweat glands. If the condition does not get regulated to something resembling normal you should take her to a doctor for evaluation.

I'm not plugging a product or anything like that, but I used to have severe under arm perspiration. I tried everything, but the only thing that actually worked was a product called ODABAN.

Try getting her more breathable fabrics to wear, i.e. cotton.
And 12 years old is definitely not too young to wear antiperspirant or deodorant. Let her know it's common and necessary (shoot, who DOESN'T sweat under their arms?) but don't force the issue.

I had a med called Drysol. It wored very very well. You put it under your arm at night and wrap plastic wrap around it or wear a tight tight t-shirt so it stays under your arm. Check it out works well.

I might also suggest she steer clear of synthetic fabrics, sticking with breatheable cotton and try Degree anti-persperant/deoderant. I can't think of any other easy fixes, so you my want to chat with her doc if the home remidies don't work. Good luck to you and your daughter.

A good antiperspirant, may be? A doctor's advice might help.
